Mortar Matters: A Joint Masonry Workshop
Friday, March 26, 2010, in Ames, & Saturday, March 27, 2010, in Mount Vernon

Two workshops. Two dates. Choose the workshop that fits your schedule. The same all-day workshop will be presented at each location. Seminars and walking tours at each workshop will be conducted by John Speweik, of Speweik Preservation Consultants, Inc., Elgin, IL, and David Arbogast, of Arbogast Paint Analysis, Davenport, IA.

Attendees will participate in seminars on topics such as mortar and vocabulary; hands-on identification of mortar and application of mortar; moisture in masonry; and finding the right contractor.

Save the date and plan to join us in March. Information on registration and seminar schedules will be available early in 2010.
